Having been predominately a card magic kinda guy for the majority of my involvement in magic, I
couldn't resist picking this up and giving it a go. And what a great gamble that turned out, this
is a fantastic DVD. Brilliant quality, Ben is a fantastic teacher and really drives home the subtle
psychological ideas that will lock in the knowledge of a coin in your hand before it
vanishes/transports that will remain with the spectator after they swear the coin demilitarizes
before their eyes.
For the most part, it is simple coin mechanics that can be mastered after a
few days or practice, again this coming from a guy who can barely pull off a convincing classic
palm. You'll just be spending a good amount of time to make it smooth and effortless that'll make
it indeed look like real coin magic to your audience.
All in all, if you have the bare basics of
coin magic down, you'll rock these routines when combined with Ben's tips and subtleties. I can't
wait to see what he does with Real Ace Cutting and Deck Switches. This certainly seems to be a
series to keep your eye on. Go for it, you won't be disappointed.
